Ryder left Sunday evening, leaving me to email my professors about my upcoming absences this week. After that was squared away, they emailed me back the material for the classes to be completed. I also texted Hayden to let him know I wouldn't be in our dorm this week. He said he hoped everything is okay and that he'd see me when I got back.
The next appointment is Thursday so Monday I hung out with mom all day, baking Halloween cookies and setting up the last of the outdoor decorations. Halloween is mom's favorite holiday and she loves going all out for decorations.
Which reminds me that I need to tell Ryder about my idea for our Halloween costumes for the next weekends Halloween party at Brandi's apartment. Either Cat Noir and Ladybug(well Mr. Bug because neither of us are women) or Pikachu and Ash. I'm leaning more toward Pikachu and Ash though. However, I'm going to ask his opinion first.
Tuesday and Wednesday I spent the day with Jace playing video games and shopping for Christmas gifts because he wanted to get an early start on it. I am sometimes jealous of how organized and on top of things he is. It also gave me a chance to look for ideas on what to get Ry.
Now Thursday is here and I'm nervous on what the doctor will say now.
"Amber, Matt, nice to see you again" the doctor greets with a smile. "Alright, let's pull up these images" she says, clicking on her computer while Amber clenches my hand. The technician we had today didn't notify us of anything while she used the machine. It's pretty nerve wracking, not being told anything. When we tried to ask the technician just told us the doctor will talk about the results, in which worried us even more. Like, I get it's only their job to get the images but she could've at least told us if there were heartbeats still.
"So the heartbeats are still very strong" she started. Amber and I let out a relieved breath.
"It also appears that the clot had shrunk in size" she added
"Really?!" Amber asked excitedly.
"Yes, but not by much. We will still need to monitor it and if you start to bleed call us immediately" the doctor informed us.
"Thank you Dr. Gables" I told her as she stood.
"If you two don't have any more questions, I will see you next week" she smiled. We shook our heads and said we didn't have any more questions.
"It's such great news to hear Matt" Amber's eyes lit up. I didn't want to crush her spirits by being the negative Nancy and saying it still could turn out bad, so I just kept quiet. She probably knows anyway, so why take away the sliver of hope.
"I agree, just keep doing what you're doing and if the bleeding comes back call them immediately then let me know. I'm going back to campus Sunday" I told her as I drove her home.
"I'll keep you updated, don't worry" she squeezed my arm "We're in this together Matty" she smiled at me and I returned it.
"Yes, we are"
"Why are you going back Sunday and not sooner?" She asked me. I pulled up to her house and parked against the curb.
"In case you, my mom or someone needs me"
"Ahhh, I thought you'd want to go back and spend time with lover boy" she wiggled her eyebrows with a giggle.
"Why does every girl call him that?" I laughed "My friend Brandi, refers to him as that too"
"But for real, I would call you if anything happens. I know you'd be three hours away but you don't have to stick around for me. You need to spend time with Ryder. Your relationship is new and you need to solidify it"
